The research design of this study was quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical population consists of women victims of domestic violence in Kermanshah who referred to counseling centers in 2021. Among those who had voluntarily registered through the call to participate in this course, 45 people were randomly selected in the experimental and control groups based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. The research instruments were the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. The interventions of the two groups were performed in groups for 8 sessions of 90 minutes twice a week. Data were analyzed using SPSS-26 software and statistical tests of univariate analysis of covariance and Benferoni post hoc test with a probability value of 0/05. The results showed that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and therapy based on acceptance and commitment to the control group were significantly effective on quality of life and emotion regulation of women victims of domestic violence (P<0.05). Also, no significant difference was observed between the two treatments (P=1). According to the research results, it can be said that these treatment methods can be used in family counseling and psychotherapy environments.
